Why are products from other countries sold in the markets in France?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In countries like the UK and the USA, the market is largely a tradition that has been revived, in the form of "farmers' markets"; in France, the tradition did not need to be revived, as traditional fruit and vegetable markets, as well as markets offering a much wider array of stalls, have always remained a part of life in France. The market, as a source of fresh fruit and vegetables, is an integral part of France's famed tradition of good eating, and is one of those French traditions that never died. And for that reason it is as authentic an experience as one can wish to find.

Most towns and large villages have a large market once a week; but in larger towns, markets may take place twice a week, or even every day. Typical French markets are a mix between the farmers' market and a traders' market, with stalls offering local produce straight from the farm standing alongside fruit and vegetable stalls, cheese stalls and other stalls offering a full range of produce. Even in Paris, fruit and vegetable markets can be found in every district of the city.

The largest markets in provincial France are often known as fairs (foires) : as in the olden days, French fairs are traditional extended markets that take place perhaps once or twice a year, on the local saint's day for instance. In a few places, they take place once a month. Most of them used to be livestock markets, but that aspect of them has largely disappeared; today they are expanded versions of large weekly markets that attract more traders from a wider area; there will usually be an eclectic and colourful array of ironmongers, clothes stalls, large organic produce stalls, craft stalls, plus the normal range of fruit and vegetable sellers and much more. In rural areas, there is often a small funfair too.

Foires are big events in a local calendar, and it is always a good idea to check with the local tourist office to find out when they take place.

Virtually every French town has its covered market (marché couvert), which is a permanent structure, occupied by an array of market stalls; in a classic "marché couvert", sometimes called "les Halles", most of the stalls will sell fresh fruit and vegetables, and some of the stall-holders will also be local market-gardeners, selling their own produce among other products imported from further afield. There is often a cluster of good restaurants to be found close to the covered market in a French town, and chefs will each morning pay a visit and bring back boxes of the freshest fruit and vegetables.

Other stalls are likely to include butchers, bakers, and delicatessens offering specialities from other countries such as Vietnam, Spain, or Italy. In Paris, fruit and vegetable markets spring up on the pavements under the trees beside wide boulevards on different days of the week, often on Saturday or Sunday morning.

Olives on a Provence market Large weekly markets are attended both by local stall-holders, and by a range of specialised traders who will set up their stall on a different market each day of the week. Very often, the larger town in an area will have its weekly market on Saturdays, and smaller towns will have theirs on other days; in these smaller markets, the number of itinerant stall-holders will depend on the number of other markets on the same day within their area, and the relative interest of each of these markets. Thanks to these itinerant stallholders, larger weekly markets have a rich range of specialised stalls, offering organic vegetables, food specialities from the region or from other countries, olives and Mediterranean specialities, tools, clothes, second-hand books, garden plants, wine straight from the producer, honey and a lot more.

A few markets, notably specialised markets, have acquired a national reputation; there is the famous flea market at the Porte de Clignancourt in Paris, the flower market in Nice, the Christmas markets in Strasbourg, the olive markets in Provence (photo), or the fish market round the old port in Marseilles. There are wine markets in Bordeaux, and famous gastronomic markets in Perigueux, the heart of French truffle and foie-gras country. But generally speaking, markets are a local or regional event, attended by local producers, craftsmen or traders, and as such they are not the type of event that has any reason to acquire a national reputation; markets are just a part of the French way of living.

Answer 2

Products from other countries are sold in the market in France because of the existence of international trade.

What is a market?

A market is a place where exchange of goods and services takes place between the buyer and the seller. The two major parties involved in market are:

buyers,sellers

What is international trade?

International trade is the trade which occurs between two or more countries. No country can produce all the products its needs itself, so it has to buy products from other countries to sell to its citizens.

This is the major reason why products from other countries are sold in the market in France.

Bonjour,

TEXTE :

Parce que j'adore la mer, je vais étudier la biologie marine. En ce moment, je travaille à l'aquarium après mes cours au lycée. J'adore le récif de corail et les tortues de mer. On a beaucoup de poissons qui vivent dans l'eau fraiche, et aussi beaucoup qui habitent dans l'eau de mer, qui est salée.

Certains jours je travaille "derrière la scène," mais pour la plupart du temps je fais des activités avec les enfants qui visitent l'aquarium. Les enfants veulent tous voir "Némo." C'est bon à mon avis, parce que comme ça ils viennent à l'aquarium, et ils peuvent voir les autres poissons et les aimer aussi.

Un jour, j'étais avec les méduses. Une fille a dit que le petit aquarium ressemblait beaucoup à une sorte de paradis. Je pense qu'avec la lumière noire, et elles ressemblent à des anges.

Une autre fois, j'ai travaillé avec les hippocampes. Est-ce que tu sais que ce sont les pères qui gardent les œufs des jeunes? Ils sont si calmes. Et les couleurs sont si vives!

J'aime bien travailler avec les enfants. Ils peuvent dessiner une pieuvre avec leur main; chaque doigt est une jambe.
